Jerusalem Inspiration - Israel365

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; 

those who love you will be serene.

Jerusalem Inspiration


For centuries, Jews have gone to pour out their hearts 
in prayer at the Western Wall. Over the generations, 
the massive stones have been smoothed by the hands 
and tears of countless supplicants. 

The first Chief Rabbi of pre-state Israel, Rabbi Abraham 
Isaac Kook, wrote so touchingly about the Wall: “There 
are men with hearts of stone, and there are stones with 
hearts of men.”
